Data Matrix Positioning System PCV [Animation]

Reliable position detection by 2D-code band and modern camera technology

The Data Matrix Positioning System PCV uses a self-adhesive data matrix code band which is scanned by a read head with integrated camera. The data matrix code as information carrier offers a high degree of data density on a small surface area and many advantages in the application:

Extremely narrow code band with several codes

Smallest curve radii possible

Implementation of inclines and declines

Partially destroyed code band legible

Code band can be obscured up to 20 mm

The code band is available to a length of 10,000 meters. Several code lines on the band allow the additional positioning in Y-direction. For generating control signals a band strip - the Event Marker - can be affixed on the band.
